runthemover 40 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 "Elizabeth Roberts' 17-year-old daughter was put through the bureaucratic wringer to get a summer job in her home state of Rhode Island this year. Under state law, the teenager could not operate a power saw, work on ladders or even pump gas. The state also regulates how many hours and times of day minors can work.But in Rhode Island, where Roberts is lieutenant governor, the teen -- with a work permit -- can take off all her clothes at a strip club, even those where adult men can touch the merchandise.Just this week the Providence Journal revealed that a loophole in the state's minor laws do not restrict girls as young as 16 from working as strippers, as long as they are home by 11:30 p.m. "full article - http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=8149969&page=1I only read up to what I posted here.

runthemover 40 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I don't get it. Are the mom's gonna be driving their teenage daughters to the club? Or wait. Probably they'll be letting the daughter drive because you know teenagers! Link to post Share on other sites
dna4ever 2 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I read this yesterday and my favorite part was ..."You get more contact here talking to a woman at the bar than you do in most clubs during a lap dance, and in the private rooms, anything goes for probably half the women working there, and the others will still make sure you leave happy," reported one of its customers.

dolfan 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I read this yesterday and my favorite part was ...I found this tidbit much more enjoyable, and educational:"Founded by religious dissidents, some say the state -- which is not really an island -- is quick to forgive."EDIT: ...and as I continued reading the rest of the paragraph, I learned the mayor of Providence once threw a burning log at a guy he thought was banging his wife. Burning-log-throwing and 16-year-old strippers. Rhode Island - not so bad. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Although unsubstantiated, it was said the Rhode Island, back in the 80's, had the largest "per capita" population of Cosa Nostra in the USA. Link to post Share on other sites

SAM_Hard8 50 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 When the Fraternal Order of Police comes to town for their annual convention, buses were hired to transport members to the strip clubs, according to local social historian Scott McKay. And when the NFL's Indianapolis Colts come to the Patriots' Foxboro, Mass., stadium, they stay closer to Rhode Island so they can have evening entertainment, according to McKay. lol Link to post Share on other sites

A blunder by state lawmakers three decades ago criminalized outdoor solicitation but inadvertently made indoor prostitution OK. The age of consent in Rhode Island is 16."http://blogs.moneycentral.msn.com/smartspe...-strippers.aspxLOL @ all those guys paying for a flight to Thailand. Link to post Share on other sites
